The Story Of a Thankful Heart.

that will not award praise and give
honor whore honor Is due. 1t 10 an

THE SPRING RoUND-UPS.

BENJAMIN, Tex, May 16.-The general
round-ups have begun in earnest The
town is quiet and deserted by the cattle
men and their employees, which gives a
Sunday.like appearance; but to see plen
ty of excitement one has only to ride out
a few miles to the appointed place for a
roundup. There on the open prairie he
will see large herd of cattle aggregat
ing several thousand, surrounded by per-
haps one hundred well-mounted men,
circlng aud cutting out ca,..~ to- the
different companies, while near by few
men hold the cattle of each outfit in sep
arate herds as they are cut from the gen
eral herd. Occasionally an unruly ami
NAL refuses to be driven, and then, after
one or two unsuccessful efforts at driv-
ing the cowboy drops his lasso from the
saddle, and by a skillful throw places
the moose around the animals fofelegs
and BY strong pull in The opposite di-
rection brings him with a heavy thud
and no little surprise flat upon the
ground, and by repeating the operation
few times, enforces obedience and sub
mission TO mans dominion. The work
is full of excitement, dust and profanity,
and presents the cowboy in all his glory.
If any man has made up his mind thar
the cattle business in Western Texas is
dead, only let him come to Benjumin and
attend one general roundup. He will
go back convinced that 1t is still alive
and much bigger thing than real es-
tate boom; that there are yet millions in
it, and that the men now controlling the
business are well calculated to get those
millions out and into their own pockets.

sioners protesting against the enforcement of
the law was found to contain the names of
more than seventy-fve licensed saloon-keep-
ers, numerous barkeepers, together with the
of the County Commissioners, several
of the county officers and their deputies, sew
eral justices of the peace, one State Senator,
and nearly every gambler in the city. This
array of names and Influence" against the
en- enforcement of law illustrates at once the de-
moralization caused by its non-enforcement-
and the activity of its enemies. 1t is beau
tifu1 state of affairs, indeed, when police COM
missioners, whose duty it is to see that the laws
enforced, themselves wink at its violation
to such extent that citizens movement
becomes necessary to make them do their
duty. And still more humiliating is it to see
among the signers of protest against the
enforcement of law the names of county COM
missioners and county officers. Public senti-
ment in Evansville ought to be strong
enough to make these men feel its lash. The
methods of the Liquor League in that city are
the same as those used here. The citizens
committee say:
1.-THE whole power of the Liquor League
has been brought to bear on the citizens of
this city to defeat this demand that has been
made in behalf of the dignity and majesty of
the law, and of peace and good order. The
defiant spirit of this league is well known in the
history of this city. Through business and
political channels, by threats, boycott and in
timidation. they have sought to rule this city
so far as it is their personal and selfish inter-
est to rule it. They have not hesitated to
proclaim their determination to crush politi-
callY any man who would in public Office dare
to act in manner that they did not approve.
And they are the men who presume to demand
by their own signatures before the police
authorities of the State of Indiana that they
shall not enforce the laws"
The contest now going on in Evansville
should be fought clear out, and if the honest,
law-abiding citizens stand together and do
their duty they will unquestionably win.

LAW AND LIQUOR.

The recent victory for law and order in this
city has started similar movements in several
of the cities of the State In Evansville there
is a very earnest movement for the enforce
ment of the liquor law, and powerful press
ure has been brought to bear the Police
Commissioners to make them do their duty.
The movement is non-partisan, and lie headed
by a citizens committee, embracing Repub-
Icans and Democrats, who have taken the
ground that the law must be enforced. On
the other hand, liquor league is working to
maintain the "wide-open" policy, as they did

THE PROSPECTS FOR 1888.

The New York election clears up some
doubts and settles some points in regard to
the next presidential contest. First, it
settles tie fact if it was doubted before, of
Mr.. Cleveland's denomination and increases
the chances of his election. AS matters stand
at present, his denomination by the Democratic
party may be regarded as settled. There is
next six or eight months to change this
situation, but it is not probable. From this
time on the denomination of Cleveland may
as well be accepted as fixed fact
A second result of the election is to bring
Indiana to the front in the calculations of the
Republicans. The Democrats having carried
New York by over 20, 900 in an off year, may
assert. with considerable show of reason, their
ability TO carry it by as large majority next
year. Without admitting the claim, it must
be recognized as not unreasonable. Can any
Republican carry New York against Cleve-
land, if so who7 Unless this double question
can be answered satisfactorily, the Republican
party must look away from New York for
success. ANY RepuDl1cau programme OIL
success that leaves out New York must
include Indiana. Cleveland may carry the
Solid South Though it is not certain he can)
and New York and still not be elected. There
are 401 electoral votes and it takes pol to
elect The Solid South has 153 votes, lack
ing IS of enough to elect. Give Cleveland
New York, So, and he would still lack u
votes. New York, with Connecticut and
New Jersey 8, would elect him. But if the
Republicans can carry every Northern State
except New York they can succeed. This would
give them 212 electoral votes, eleven more
than enough to elect. Out of this list they could
spare Connecticut or New Jersey either, but
not both. They could not spare Indiana with
its Is votes. It is therefore likely to become
very interesting question for Republicans
as to who can carry Indiana. If New York
ceases to be the pivotal State Indiana may
become so. If the Republicans are likely to
lose the former they must carry the latter or
they are gone. This brings Indiana to the
front It looks now as if this might become
the battle-ground in 1888. Indiana and Con-
necticut can elect the President

TUESDAY was gala day in Tucson, A. t., the
occasion being the presentation of a sword to
General Miles, the old Indian fighter, in honor
of his subsection of the Apache Indians The
presentation was made on behalf of the citizens
of the entire Territory, and gave public signif-
canoe to the event Tucson put on holiday garb,
and there parade of all local civic societies
which was reviewed by General Miles and other
army officers present. In addition to the civic
organizations joining in the parade band
of four hundred Papago Indians in warpaint
and armor, as used by them to fight Apaches.
Altogether, General Miles was made to feel that
if republics are ungrateful Territories not
